Ilimoskus: Times of Old

by Jennifer K. Marsh

"Times of old are leaving, my friends; know that soon it will be the end." Times of Old is the first part of the Ilimoskus journey. Living amongst the humans of Earth is a race of beings unbeknown to them; they are Ilimoskus, the elemental beings of fire, earth, air and water. They are a most peaceful race who lead uneventful lives in harmony with nature, but one fateful autumn, the Flamikus (fire folk) feel the ground tremble beneath them in tension they have never before endured, and troubling concern starts to linger. Throughout this ever-growing tension, Fii'dezrhu Reotum - a rebellious Flamikus - discovers a momentous secret he then acts upon by venturing to the forbidden humans lands; while there, he inadvertently reveals the Ilimoskus' existence to one young girl. Little does he know that this sets in motion the beginnings of an earthquake so great, it will result in gruelling searches, confounding ambiguities, painstaking truths and heart-wrenching decisions. In time, both humans and Ilimoskus will watch the world they once knew crumble around them.
